What South Carolina represents is a growing movement of political engagement by the African American community...in past years, candidates like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were not viable because they did not attract white voters, and black voters were not as engaged in the nomination process.SC is throwaway state, it never votes Democrat anyways. Honestly noone cares about it except the media.
Obama is the first viable African American Presidential candidate, and black voters are starting to take notice.
An overwhelming victory in S.C. could change the polling and support base for Obama going into Super Tuesday...especially in the South, and yes, even in NY.
Sounds pretty desperate if he's tying his fortunes to the black vote in South Carolina.
He has to be careful of not becoming the African-American candidate like Jesse Jackson and alienating whites and Hispanics.
There's like no low too low for you to sink to, is there?
I am just telling it like it is. If Obama wants to be the candidate for African Americans, he may alienate other ethnic groups. I think we saw that in play in Nevada where he lost the Hispanic vote big time.
How about I play one of your usual ugly bigot cards and ask what makes you believe that hispanics will actually vote for a woman? :roll:
They did in Nevada. I am not playing any cards, I am just commenting on what has already happened.
Hillary bashers are the ones trying to make it as if Obamas support among African Americans is his salvation, seems like race card to me.
